    help Help with nuvi 2597LMT and using new maps

    I have purchased the 2597LMT while in Australia and want to use it with greek maps.
    The device has been updated to software version 5.40 and gps firmware 5.08.0
    I have downloaded unlocked Europe maps city navigator NTU 2015.30 and put it sd card 8gb.
    If I keep the name of the image gmapsupp.img base camp doesn't see the map and the device says cannot unlock maps , maps are corrupt and canot be used.
    If I change the name to gmapprom.img basecamp can read the map but the device says the same thing and I canot use it!
    Do u guys have any insight ? I am really confused here!
    Thanx for any help!

    As a variant for Greece, you can try the original locked map [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (Latin NT, FID 821 or Greek NT, FID 822) using UNL file created by means of JM keygen.

    Anavasi will work also but for offroad use only if you 're interested in something like that.

    I can assume that you mess up with the map Auto Drive Hellas + .unl, but the map [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (that Ellinas suggested to you above) is non-locked and non-NT.
    Just be precise in your operations with maps.

    Thanx Ellinas for Anavasi great maps I didn't know of!
    As for Auto drive the procedure I did is get the gmapprom.img with universal extractor, then rename it to gmapsupp.img
    Then with Protected Garmin file toolkit_2254_x64 get the FID of the map.
    With garmin unlock generator I put my unit id , selecet map product <costum mapset> , and then generate to get the code.
    I created a notepad file with the first line cointaining the key and save it as gmapsupp.unl all files not.txt.
    that's it.
    Put it in a Garmin folder in the sd but the device says maps are corrupt and cannot be used !
    Any insight?

    A stupid question probably, but I've no other ideas, are you sure you haven't unlocked the .img with PGFT ? Is the Autodrive map locked in your nuvi?

    You have to navigate to get to the good.

    @crow0

    Check the checksum of the file gmapsupp.img on your microSD.

    For the original locked map Auto Drive Hellas Greece v3.30T (Latin NT, FID 821):
